PANEL KNITS!

viscose elastane

Each panel measures 32 x 60 inches and is sold by the panel ( 1=1 panel). The flow from one panel to another is smooth and will allow you to use multiple panels in one garment.

 Autumn II- in the mail!

Crisp cool air welcomes in the month of October here in New England.  Along with it come the trees in glorious color and the barren ground after the harvest.  The colors in this collection reflect that counterpoint.  Deep pumpkin, lush magenta, mellow wine and softened earth tones. Fabrics that speak to warmth and coziness abound in this mailer.
